Description

Nestled in the picturesque Suffolk countryside, this individual detached bungalow, built in 1987, sits on approximately 2.2 acres of land in the desirable parish of Semer. The property is strategically set back from the road, ensuring privacy while providing stunning views over its extensive gardens and paddock towards the scenic farmland of Whatfield. This versatile residence boasts three to four bedrooms and presents ample space for those interested in equestrian facilities or small-scale farming. The Hollies comes with approved planning permission for a substantial extension, allowing for the transformation into a more modern barn-style home featuring vaulted ceilings and five bedrooms. This potential development could significantly enhance the property's value and appeal. Internally, the home has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners. The original kitchen and dining area have been transformed into an open-plan kitchen/breakfast/dining space designed to be both functional and stylish, perfect for contemporary living and entertaining. The new kitchen features modern cabinetry and high-quality appliances, while bathrooms have been renovated to a high specification. A reconfigured central hallway now accommodates a study or optional fourth bedroom, catering well to remote working needs. A new oil-fired heating system has been installed for year-round efficiency. The layout effectively separates living areas from sleeping quarters; three double bedrooms are located on one side while reception areas dominate the rear of the property, allowing for lovely views over the gardens from large windows. Externally, The Hollies boasts formal gardens adorned with established trees and a charming brick and flint wall along its boundary. A private driveway leads to a detached double garage equipped with power. Beyond the gardens lies an orchard and a level paddock conducive for equestrian activities or hobby farming purposes; it includes stabling facilities to satisfy any countryside or equestrian endeavors. With approved plans enabling significant renovations or extensions, this property not only offers immediate comfort but also presents invaluable potential for enhancement tailored to individual tastes.
